They need to give cities skyline 2 team sone tips on how a bad release can turn into a good game.

To be fair, strategy games usually have a very rough start. They are like wine, which hurts more when they *do* fail.

​@@mrjaman3752I've been playing since I got it on Humble Bundle. Is it shit? Nah I had fun and I'm still having fun Is the game still barebones with a lack of content? Absolutely Stop giving Paradox a free pass, they're not the lovable indie dev anymore. I had the investment pool bug happen in one of my games and after reading through the forums that bug has been in the game 5 MONTHS NOW and yes the dev team is aware of it.

This stuff feels like your country developing baggage from the decisions you made (or forced upon you) that ripple into gameplay consequences/management. I love it!

They didn't give us the greatest war system, but they sure are giving us the greatest diplomatic and economic system. That I can appreciate and it'll only get better with time.

Blud it’s been almost 2 years, the lifespan of ck2/eu4 was 12 years with 2 dlcs a year, it’ll be the second expansion of vic3. I won’t start crying about pricing, it is brave on their part to price a dlc like a base game

That's common for pdx grand strat games, since you need atleast a few hundred hours just to learn the basics of the game.

The Hey Bear music threw me for a loop 😂

That is a very good summary of the changes to expect for 1.7. Hopefully the AI is able to handle it. I expect at least 3 hotfixes to get it going after release ;)

I bought this game last week and since I was playing as Gran Colombia there's one thing I'd really like to see in this patch. Canals rework, so they actually are worth building, instead of just giving some prestige.

Canals now allow the creation of a company that provides a lot of revenue.

@@johnwesley3140 It only provides 50k revenue if it's prosperous. And the prosperity increases when your average shipyard efficiency is 25 or higher (mine was around 8-9). I'd like the canals to be worthwhile on their own, instead of being tied to shipyards as a patchwork solution.

@GustavSvard

The Panama canal should be creating a new shipping lane, and have a special building (similar to railroads) that give the owner revenue based on how much that shipping lane is used (and have a cap on that usage?). Should also have a maintenance cost. Same for Suez. and the Kiel canal. And the (otl unbuilt) Nivaragua canal too. I'd be surprised if it isn't in the game by the summer of 2026. Probably as part of a trade logistics update.

@@mrjaman3752 Me showing I haven't had time to actually play it much :) Not giving revenue is a problem IMO. And it ought to be a special building that needs staffing and maintenance inputs etc. And now with ownership coming that would be perfect for the Canals. A dream would be for the canals to have a max capacity too, sort of like railways do in a way. Maybe also the ability of the country/owner to stop convoys from certain countries going through? That ought to also be true for the Danish straits and the Bosporous, etc.

The game is almost out of early access

The image of Queen Victoria in the video thumbnail makes me wonder if Paradox is going to release a XIX Century Zombie Apocalypse DLC.

I am so excited for the new dlc!!!

we need land price and limitation, i dont think i can build 5k industry inside singapore

To be fair, it wasn't either in vic 2

The power bloc system seems to be carbon copy of Stellaros' federation system. Which is a good system. One big issue was that it divides the map too well, and too predictive like. Hopefully this is addressed.

As someone who's more used to ck3 and stellaris, is it worth getting into viccy 3 ?

Depends on what you enjoy. Victoria 3 is your alley if you enjoy the economic part of Stellaris, only that here it is much more in depth. Not so if youre seeking warfare, variety in the starts or roleplaying

I‘m looking forward to 1.7. I really do. But on the other side i am really concerned about how the AI will handle all the new stuff. I mean it is barely able to build up its economy, which is the base of the hole game. 1,5years after release. And i‘m of course also concerned about new serious bugs or new performance issues. In fact for me this update/dlc and its upcoming hotfixes is the last bullet vic3 has. It must succeed. I hope it does.

This is great! But I still think Imperator: Rome is still king. Outright the best paradox game if given time and effort by paradox devs.

It’s so frustrating when I spend millions to get a treaty port on Brazil or Qing just so they can join the customs union of a great power. I hope this update can fix that

Welp. Guess I can’t play anymore. The only time I used that autonomous investment pool it RUINED my country. Now that it’s becoming the only option I’m just gonna have a ruined economy every time I play. Dammit.

@torrent6181

The autonomous investment pool has been working great for me. This sounds like a skill issue, you just gotta get used to how they build stuff. They build profitable buildings but only to support themselves, i.e. Aristocrats will almost always build agrarian buildings even if there is more demand for manufactured goods. If you want capitalists to build more, you have to spend the early game pumping up their numbers via logging camps and other capitalist-owned buildings. One nice thing is, early game, the private investors will rarely have enough money to build stuff, so you’ll have access to all of their construction sectors much of the time.

@@torrent6181 they don’t build profitable buildings. When I tried it my economy crashed because they built things I didn’t need and took up valuable construction sectors I could have otherwise been using to build what was actually needed
